GENERAL INFORMATION 


SOURCE OF EMISSIONS 
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Controlling hydrocarbon emission is very 
important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photechemical smog when subjected to sunlight. 


Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic. 


Honda Moter Co., Ltd. utilizes lean carburetor settings as well as other systems, to reduce carbon monoxide and hydro- 
carbons. 


CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 


The engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging crankcase emissions inte the atmospher. 
Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner and carburetor. 


AIR CLEANER CASE 


CARBURETOR 


BLOW-BY GAS 


<I Frest AIR 


1-27 


GENERAL INFORMATION 
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (PULSE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM) 


The exhaust emission control system consists of a secondary air supply system which introduces filtared air into the 
axhaust bases in the exhaust port. Fresh air is drawn into the exhaust port whenever there is a negative pressure pulse 
in the exhaust system. This charge of fresh air promotes burning of the unburned exhaust gases and changes a consid- 
erable amount of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into relatively harmiess carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

This model has the pulse secondary air injection (PAIR) control valve and PAIR check valve. Pair check valve prevents 
reverse air flow through the system. The PAIJR control valve reacts to high intake manifold vacuum and will cut off the 
supply of the fresh air during angine deceleration, thereby preventing afterburn in the exhaust system. 


No adjustment to the pulse secondary air injection system should be made, although periodic inspection of the compo- 
nents is recommended.

SERVICE INFORMATION 
GENERAL 


» Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Work in a well ventilated area. Smoking 
or allowing flames or sparks in the work area or where the gasoline is stored can cause a fire or explosion. 

- Engine and exhaust system parts become very hot and remain hot for some time after the engine is run. Wear insu- 
lated gloves or wait until the engine and exhaust system have cooled before handling these parts. 

- if the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an 
enclosed area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of consciousness and 
faad to death. Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area. 


+ This section covers removal and installation of the body panels, fuel tank and exhaust system. 

+ Always replace the exhaust pipe gasket when removing the exhaust pipe from the engine. 

» When installing the exhaust system, loosely install all of the exhaust pips fasteners. Always tighten the exhaust 
clamps first, then tighten the mounting fasteners. If you tighten the mounting fasteners first, the exhaust pipe may 
not seat properly. 

+ Always inspect the exhaust system for leaks after installation.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under 
certain conditions. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 


FUEL LINE 


Check the fuel line for deterioration, damage or leakage. 
Replace the fuel line if necessary. 


THROTTLE OPERATION 


Check for any deterioration or damage to the throttle 
cables. 

Check the throttle grip for smooth operation. Check that the 
throttle grip returns from the full open to the full closed 
position smoothly and automatically in all steering posi- 
tions. 

If the throttle grip does not return properly, lubricate the 
throttle cable, overhaul and lubricate the throttle grip hous- 
ing. 

For cable lubrication: Disconnect the throttle cables at their 
upper ends (page 12-4). Thoroughly lubricate the cables 
and their pivot points with a commercially available cable 
lubricant or a light weight oil. 


If the throttle grip still does not return properly, replace the 
throttle cables. 


Reusing a damaged or abnormally bent or kinked throttle 
cable can prevent proper throttle side operation and may 
lead to a loss of throttle control while riding. 


With the engine idling, turn the handlebar all the way to the 
right and left to ensure that idle speed does not change. 

If idle speed increases, check the throttle grip free play and 
the throttle cable connection. 


Measure the throttle grip free play at the throttle grip 
flange.

If necessary, remove the reserve tank cap and fill to the 
“UPPER” level line with a 50-50 solution of distilled water 
and recommended antifreeze (coolant mixture preparation: 
page 6-4). 


CAUTION: 

Using coolant with silicate inhibitors may cause premature 
wear of water pump seals of blockage of radiator pas- 
sages. Using tap water may cause engine damage. 


Check to see if there are any coolant leaks when the coolant 
level decreases very rapidly. 


If the reserve tank becomes completely empty, there is a 
possibility of air getting into the cooling system. 

Be sure to remove all air from the cooling system as 
described on page 6-5.

MAINTENANCE 


Check for any coolant leakage from the water pump (see 
page 6-13), water hose and hose joints. 

Make sure the hoses ara in good condition; they should not 
show any signs of deterioration. 

Replace any hose that shows any sign of deterioration. 
Check that all hose clamps are tight. 


WATER PUMP 


For radiator replacement, refer to page 6-8. 


SECONDARY AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM 


NOTE: 

* This model is equipped built-in secondary air supply sys- 
tem. The pulse secondary air supply system is located on 
the cylinder head cover. 

« The secondary air supply system introduces filtered air 
into exhaust gases in the exhaust port. The secondary air 
is drawn into the exhaust port whenever there is nega- 
tive pressure pulse in the exhaust system. This charged 
secondary air promotes burning of the unburned 
exhaust gases and changes a considerable amount of 
hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into relatively harm- 
less carbon dioxide and water. 


PAIR CHECK VALVE 


Remove tha fuel tank {page 2-5). 


Check the air injection hoses and pipes between the pulse 
secondary air injection (PAIR) control valve and exhaust 
port for deterioration, damage or loose connections. Make 
sure that the hoses are not cracked. 


NOTE: 


If the hoses show any signs of heat damage, inspect the 
PAIR check valves {page 5-20). 


Check the air suction hose between the air cleaner housing 
and PAIR control valve for deterioration, damage or loose 
connections. Make sure that the hoses are not linked, 
pinched or cracked. 


For PAIR control valve inspection, see page 5-20.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION 


Clean the chain with non-flammable or high flash point sol- 
vent and wipe it dry. 

Be sure the chain has dried completely before lubricating. 
Inspect the drive chain for possible damage or wear. 
Replace any chain that has damaged rollers, loose fitting 
links, or otherwise appears unserviceable. 

Installing a new chain on badly worn sprockets will cause 
the new chain to wear quickly. 

Inspect and replace sprocket as necessary.

3-16 


Lubricate the drive chain with # 80 - 90 gear oil or drive 
chain lubricant designed specifically for use with O-ring 
chains. Wipe off the excess oil or chain lubricant. 


SPROCKETS INSPECTION 


Inspect the drive and driven sprocket teeth for wear or dam- 
age, replace if necessary. 

Never use a new drive chain on worn sprockets. 

Both chain and sprockets must be in good condition, or the 
new replacement chain will wear rapidly.

BRAKE FLUID 


CAUTION: 


° Do not remove the cover or cap unless the reservoir is 
level because fluid may spill out. 

« Do not mix different types of fluid, as they are not com- 
patible with gach other. 

* Do not allow foreign material to enter the system when 
filling the reservoir. 

« Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts. 
Place a rug over these parts whenever the system is ser- 
viced. 


NOTE: 


« When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads for 
wear 


(paga: 3-20}. A low fluid level may be due to wear of the’ 


brake pads. If the brake pads are worn, the caliper piston 
in pushed out, and this accounts for a low reservoir level. 
Hf the brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is low, 
check entire system for leaks {(paga 3-20). 

« Do not remove the level float from the reservoir when 
filling with brake fluid. 


FRONT BRAKE 


Turn the handlebar so that the reservoir is level and check 
the front brake reservoir fluid level through the sight glass. 
If the level is near the lower level mark, remove the cover, 
set plate and diaphragm and fill the reservoir with DOT 3 or 
4 brake fluid from a sealed container to the casting ledge. 


Refer to page 14-3 for brake fluid replacement/bleeding pro- 
cedures. 


REAR BRAKE 


Place the motorcycle on a level surface, and support it 
upright. Check the rear brake fluid reservoir level. 

lf the lavel is near the lower level mark, remove the reser- 
voir cap and fill the reservoir with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid 
from @ sealed container to the upper level mark. 


Refer to page 14-3 for brake fluid replacement/bleeding pro- 
cedures.

If adjusting to the higher position, do not allow the lower 
end of the push rod thread to enter into the brake pedal 
joint. 


BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH 


CAUTION: 


Allowing the switch body to turn during adjustment can 
break the wires in the switch. 


NOTE: 


* The brake light switch on the front brake lever cannot be 
adjusted. If the front brake light switch actuation and 
brake engagement are off, either replace the switch unit 
or the malfunctioning parts of the system. 

* Make all rear brake light switch adjustments after the 
height adjustment and the brake pedal free play adjust- 
ments have been made. 


Remove the step bracket (pgae 14-24). 

Check the brake light switch operation and adjustment by 
applying the brakes. Visually inspect for any damage and 
make sure the reflector plate is clean within the light.

If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure 
the area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an 
enclosed area. 


Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 


Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug caps and 
remove one spark plug at a time. 


NOTE: 


To measure the cylinder compression of each cylinder, 
remove only one plug at a time. 


Shift the transmission into neutral. 
Install the compression gauge attachment in a spark plug 
hole. 


Connect the compression gauge to the attachment. 
Open the throttle all the way and crank the engine with the 
starter motor. 


NOTE: 


Crank the engine until the gauge reading stops rising. The 
maximum reading is usually reached within 4-7 seconds. 


STANDARD: 1,304 kPa (13.3 kgf/cm’, 189 psi) at 500 min“ 
(rpm) 


lf compression is high, it indicates that carbon deposits 
have accumulated on the combustion chamber and/or the 
piston crown. 


If compression is low, pour 3 — 5 cc (0.1 — 0.2 oz) of clean 
engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and 
recheck the compression. 


If the compression increases from the previous value, check 
the cylinder, piston and piston rings.

Always check balance when the tire has been removed 
from the rim. 


NOTE: 


For optimum balance, the tire balance mark (a paint dot on 
the side wall) must be located next to the valve stem. 
Remount the tire if necessary. 


To balance the wheel, install balance weights on the light- 
est side of rim, the side opposite the chalk mark. 

Add just enough weight so the wheel will no longer stop in 
the same position when it is spun. 

Do not add more than 60 g (2.1 0z) to the wheel.

Wheel balance 


CAUTION: 


Wheel balance directly affects the stability, handling and 
over all safety of the motorcycle. 

Always check balance when the tire has been removed 
from the rim. 


NOTE: 


For optimum balance, the tire balance mark (a paint dot on 
the side wall) must be located next to the valve stem. 
Remount the tire if necessary. 


BALANCE MARK 


To balance the wheel, install balance weights on the light- 
est side of rim, the side opposite the chalk mark. 

Add just enough weight so the wheel will no longer stop in 
the same position when it is spun. 

Do not add more than 60 g (2.1 oz) to the wheel. 


ROTATING DIRECTION MARK 


Note the rotating direction mark on the tire. 


WHEEL BEARING 

Turn the inner race of each bearing with your finger. 
Bearings should turn smoothly and quietly. Also check that 
the bearing outer race fits tightly in the hub. 


Remove and discard the bearings if the races do not turn 
smoothly and quietly, or if they fit loosely in the hub. 


NOTE: 


Replace the wheel bearings in pairs.

SHOCK ABSORBER DISPOSAL 


Center punch the damper case to mark the drilling point. 
(Refer to right illustration). 


Wrap the shock absorber inside a plastic bag. 

Support the shock absorber upright in a vise as shown. 
Through the open end of the bag, insert a drill motor with a 
sharp 2-3 mm (5/64 — 1/8 in) drill bit. 


* Do not use a dull drill bit which could cause a build-up of 
excessive heat and pressure inside the damper, leading to 
explosion and severe personal injury. 

* The shock absorber contains nitrogen gas and oil under 
high pressure. Do not drill any further down the damper 
case than the measurement given above, or you may drill 
into the oil chamber; oil escaping under high pressure 
may cause serious personal injury. 

* Always wear eye protection to avoid getting metal shav- 
ings in your eyes when the gas pressure is released. The 
plastic bag is only intended to shield you from the escap- 
ing gas. 


Hold the bag around the drill motor and briefly run the drill 
motor inside the bag; this will inflate the bag with air from 
the motor and help keep the bag from the getting caught in 
the bit when you start.

SERVICE INFORMATION 
GENERAL 


rn ee 


A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc 
with a high quality brake degreasing agent. 


Keep grease off of brake pads and disc. 

Never allow contaminates (dirt, water, etc.) to get into an open reservoir. 

Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled. 

Always use fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container when servicing the system. Do not mix different 
types of fluid they may not be compatible. 


CAUTION: 


Spilled brake fluid will severely damage instrument lenses and painted surfaces. It is also harmful to some rubber 
parts. 
Be careful whenever you remove the reservoir cap; make sure the front reservoir is horizontal first. 


+ Always check brake operation before riding the motorcycle.

BLEEDING 


| Ea eee eee 


A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stopping power. 
Discard contaminated pads and clean a contaminated disc 
with a high quality brake degreasing agent. 


CAUTION: 


* Do not allow foreign material to enter the system when 
filling the reservoir. 

* Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic, or rubber parts. 
Place a rag over these parts whenever the system is ser- 
viced. 


NOTE: 


* The pedal brake line air bleeding procedure is performed 
in the same manner as in the lever brake line air bleed- 
ing procedure. 

* Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the 
brake feels spongy, the system must be bled. 

* When using a commercially available brake bleeder, fol- 
low the manufacturer’s operating instructions. 


BRAKE FLUID DRAINING 


Make sure that the master cylinder is parallel to the ground, 
before removing the reservoir cover and cap. 


FRONT: 
Remove the screws, reservoir cover, set plate and 
diaphragm. 


REAR: 
Remove the reservoir tank mount bolt, screws, reservoir 
cover, set plate and diaphragm. 


Connect a bleed hose to the bleed valve. 


Loosen the bleed valve and pump the brake lever (pedal). 
Stop operating the brake when no more fluid flows out of 
the bleed valve.

Fill the master cylinder with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid to 
the upper level. 


Connect a commercially available brake bleeder to the 
bleed valve. 

Pump the brake bleeder and loosen the bleed valve. 

Add brake fluid when the fluid level in the reservoir is low. 


NOTE: 


* Check the fluid level often while bleeding the brake to 
prevent air from being pumped into the system. 

* When using a brake bleeding tool, follow the manufac- 
turer’s operating instructions. 


Repeat the above procedures until air bubbles do not 
appear in the bleed tube. 


NOTE: 


lf air is entering the bleeder from around the bleed valve 
threads, seal the threads with teflon tape. 


Close the bleed valve and operate the brake lever (pedal). 
If it still feels spongy, bleed the system again. 


If a brake bleeder is not available, use the following proce- 
dure: 

Pump up the system pressure with the brake lever (pedal) 
until lever (pedal) resistance is felt. 


1. Pump the brake lever or pedal several times, then 
squeeze the brake lever or push the brake pedal all the 
way and loosen the bleed valve 1/2 turn. Wait several 
seconds and close the bleed valve. 


NOTE: 


Do not release the brake lever or pedal until the bleed valve 
has been closed.

SERVICE INFORMATION 


GENERAL 


+ The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when 
charging. 

* The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective 
clothing and a face shield. 
— If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water. 
— If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately. 

¢ Electrolyte is poisonous. 
— If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil and call a 

physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. 


+ Always turn off the ignition switch before disconnecting any electrical components. 


CAUTION: 


Some electrical components may be damaged If terminals or connectors are connected or disconnect while the igni- 
tion switch is ON and a current is present. 


+ For extended storage, remove the battery, give it a full charge and store it ina cool, dry space. For maximum service 
life, charge the stored battery every two weeks. 

* For battery remaining in a stored motorcycle, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery terminal. 

* The battery can be damaged if overcharged or undercharged, or if left to discharge for long periods. These same 
conditions contribute to shortening the life-span of the battery. Even under normal use, the performance of the bat- 
tery deteriorates after 2-3 years. 

* Battery voltage may recover after battery charging, but under a heavy load, battery voltage will drop quickly and 
eventually the battery will be completely discharged. For this reason, the charging system is often suspected to be 
the problem. Battery overcharge often results in problems in the battery itself, which may appear to be an over- 
charge symptom. 

+ Before troubleshooting the charging system, check for proper use and maintenance of the battery. Check if the bat- 
tery is frequently under a heavy load, such as having the headlight and taillight ON for long periods of time without 
riding the motorcycle. 

+ The battery will self-discharge when the motorcycle is not use. For this reason, charge the battery every two weeks 
to prevent sulfation from forming. 

* When checking the charge system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting flow chart (page 15-3). 

+ Alternator servicing can be done with the engine in the frame.

CHARGING SYSTEM/ALTERNATOR 


* This model comes with a maintenance free (MF) battery. Remember the following about MF batteries. 
— Use only the electrolyte that comes with the battery. 
— Use all of the electrolyte. 
— Seal the battery properly. 
— Never open the seals again. 


BATTERY TESTING - 

Refer to the instructions in the Operation Manual for the recommended battery tester for details about the battery test- 
ing.

CHARGING SYSTEM INSPECTION 


NOTE: 


* Measuring circuits with a large capacity that exceeds the 
capacity of the tester may cause damage to the tester. 
Before starting each test, set the tester at the high capac- 
ity range first, then gradually down to low capacity 
ranges in order to ensure that you have the correct range 
and do not damage the tester. 

+ When measuring small capacity circuits, keep the igni- 
tion switch off. If the switch is suddenly turned on during 
a test, the tester fuse may blow. 


CURRENT LEAKAGE TEST 


Remove the left side cover (page 2-2). 


Turn the ignition switch off, and disconnect the negtive (-) 
cable from the battery. 

Connect the ammeter (+) probe to the battery negative 
cable and the ammeter (—) probe to the battery (—) terminal. 
With the ignition switch off, check for current leakage. 


NOTE: 


* When measuring current using a tester, set it to a high 
range, and then bring the range down to an appropriate 
level. Current flow higher than the range selected may 
blow out the fuse in the tester. 

* While measuring current, do not turn the ignition on. A 
sudden surge of current may blow out the fuse in the 
tester. 


SPECIFIED CURRENT LEAKAGE: 1.0 mA max 


If current leakage exceeds the specified value, a shorted 
circuit is likely. 

Locate the short by disconnecting connections one by one 
and measuring the current.

SERVICE INFORMATION 


GENERAL 


A WARNING 


When the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an 
enclosed area. The exhaust contains polsonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of consciousness and lead 
to death. Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area. 


CAUTION: 


Some electrical components may be damaged if terminals or connectors are connected or disconnected while the igni- 
tion switch is ON and current is present. 


* When servicing the ignition system, always follow the steps in the troubleshooting sequence on page 16-2. 

* The transistorized ignition system uses an electrically controlled ignition timing system. No adjustments can be 
made to the ignition timing. 

* The ignition control module (ICM) varies ignition timing according to the engine speed. The engine coolent tempera- 
ture (ECT) sensor signal the ICM to compensate the ignition timing according to the coolant temperature. 

* The ICM may be damaged if dropped. Also, if the connector is disconnected when current is flowing, the excessive 
voltage may damage the ICM. Always turn off the ignition switch before servicing. 

+ A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before proceeding. 

* Make sure the battery is adequately charged. Using the starter motor with a weak battery results in a slower engine 
cranking speed as well as no spark at the spark plugs. 

* For ignition pulse generator removal/installation, refer to section 15. 

* For spark plug inspection, see section 3. 

* See section 18 for following components: 
— Ignition switch 
— Engine stop switch 
— Neutral switch
